Abstract

The reproducibility crisis refers to the inability to reproduce scientific experiments and is one of science's great challenges. Alarming reports and growing public attention are leading to the development of services and tools that aim to support key reproducible practices. In the face of this rapid evolution, we envision the unique opportunity for Human-Computer Interaction to impact scientific practice through the systematic study of requirements and moderating effects of technology on research reproducibility. In this paper, we report on the current state of technological and human factors in reproducible science and present challenges and opportunities for both HCI researchers and practitioners to understand, support and motivate core practices.
